Wedding preparations begin for Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez at a Georgia estate

At Ben Affleck’s Georgia mansion, plans are underway for the actor’s second wedding to Jennifer Lopez this weekend after the Las Vegas ceremony last month.

A tent was being built on the riverside property on Thursday while workers worked all day to prepare for the celebrations with the stars.

Meanwhile, the couple were spotted shopping in Savannah, Georgia on Thursday with family and friends as well.

Their three-day “intimate celebration for family and friends” will kick off with a rehearsal dinner on Friday, our informant said.

The actors will hook up on Saturday, this time in the presence of family buddies and celebrities who couldn’t make their first wedding, such as Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Casey Affleck and Drea de Matteo, all of whom are expected to attend.

We also hear that there will be a barbecue on Sunday.

Page Six also learned that celebrity life coach and podcaster Jay Shetty is set to host their long-awaited wedding.

It seems Shetty and Lopez have been close for several years, and she even opens up about her relationship struggles over the years.

In her podcast, she revealed that she was undergoing therapy at the age of 30 and that “there [was] There was a lot of talk about loving yourself and I was saying “I love myself!” But of course I was doing all the things in my personal relationship that didn’t seem to love myself, but I didn’t even understand what it was all about. ”

She added: “I have taken some time and this is a journey and it is still a journey for me.”

Lopez and Affleck tied the knot last month at a ceremony in Las Vegas, and the singer took to her newsletter, “On The JLo,” to pour out of their weddings in the city of sin.

“We flew to Vegas yesterday evening, we stood in line for a license with four other couples who made the same trip to the wedding capital of the world,” she told her subscribers.

“Behind us, two men were holding hands and holding each other. Before us is a young couple who drove a three-hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday – we all want the same – for the world to recognize us as partners and confess our love to the world through an ancient and almost universal symbol of marriage. “

Private Ryan star and Enough actress traveled to Paris to celebrate their honeymoon, where they were spotted packing up on their PDAs.

Despite the good times, sources close to the couple told Page Six that the heavy presence of the paparazzi “scared” the actor.

“It was a whole new level,” said the source, adding that it was “almost Princess Diana level.”

The couple met in 2001 on the set of “Gigli” while Lopez was still married to her second husband, Cris Judd.

Following their separation in June 2002, “Bennifer” was born, and Affleck initially made the proposal in 2002. Unfortunately, they broke up and didn’t quite manage to move on.

Lopez married Marc Anthony with whom she shares twins Max and Emme, while Affleck married Jennifer Garner with whom she shares daughters Violet and Seraphina, and son Samuel.

The two relationships ended in divorce, eventually bringing the couple together in 2021 after breaking Lopez’s engagement to ex-Yankee Alex Rodriguez.
